Apparently, common sense is not common anymore! The situation is per the bogus allegation, that an attorney who is supposed to know the laws on the books is taking direction from a private citizen who happens to be his client? Let that sink in. A supposed expert in his field, which is the law is...

On a practical basis, you would probably, have a hard time doing this for several reasons: 1) Your shares will probably, be restricted and you will not be allowed to sell it unless, it exceeds a certain price. Not the best way to maximize gains. 2) You would probably, need a separate broker...

If you are buying shares of AAPL on 02/14/2019, why the hell would you hedge it before you own it? Up to 02/13/2019, you do not own any AAPL shares. Usually, the correct way to hedge a stock position assuming you have a very low risk tolerance is to buy a put option to hedge against your long...

Taxpayer paid junkets no less! Maybe, Congressional salaries can be withheld atleast, until the shutdown is resolved. I will run that idea by President Trump. No reason why these do nothing instigators should be paid one red cent while, they continue to keep the government shut with their no...

There are 3 main strategies which are pullbacks, reversals and breakouts. I use those to get into trades. Take note there is no such thing as a sure thing. If a stock breaks out of a trading range, there is always a chance that the breakout fails and goes back into the trading range. In that...

There are only 2 parts to buying an option be it a call or put option. You place a "Buy to Open" order on a put or call depending on which you are trading, the number of contracts and the strike price. I use a limit order to make sure I do not pay more than I want to pay. Of course, most times...

It is not naked call and put purchases because it is backed with cash. Getting 40% winners and 60% losers is part of it over hundreds of trades. I am fine with that. As long as the losses are small, it should not even be an issue. Risk management and position size is built in the trade.

That is the thing. If I were just outright buying puts and calls, I probably, will lose 4 times out of 7 and still end up profitable with the 3 winning trades. It is a poor use of capital to risk too much to earn a little. I would rather risk a fixed limited amount on a worst case scenario at...

Nothing is guaranteed in the stockmarket but, considering the 80% probability, I was expecting more winning trades out of those 7 trades. Instead, most of them, 6 trades turned out to be losers. These are short term options too like the current month. However, once the stock blows thru both...

Yep. 7 trades is enough for me. I lost a couple of thousand in the process. If I cannot show a profit or breakeven, I figure that it is a waste of monies to keep going down that route. I was already buying calls and puts at the time. Figured I would sell calls for premium. Seemed easy enough to...

The trades did not work out? When I got into those trades, I was using ThinkorSwim with their probabilities. Those options I sold were way out of the monies and were supposedly 80% chance to end up out of the monies with me pocketing the small premiums of $200-$300 for 5 contracts. Instead, they...

What I really want to know is of all the people who actually trade the stockmarket and are retail traders, how many sell options for premium and make monies doing so? Now, the flip side, how many other retail traders who sell options for premium lose monies? I would guess you would need an...

A trader who I cannot recall the name said the problem with options trading is there are two pieces to it. Retail traders are better off buying calls and puts. Options selling is more geared to big investors and institutitions with their algorithymic applications. They sell retail traders into...

If you placed Clinton, Obama, Carter or any Democrat in President Trump's place, they would instead, be favorably viewed. Non-stop lying, liberal media attacking President Trump 24/7 will mislead people who cannot think for themselves! It is hard to imagine someone not seeing the dangers of not...

I think there is a lot of BS as far as selling options for premium. Do not take my word for it and I backtested manually, stocks trending in one direction. Implied volatility at times would rise maybe, 1-2% yet, the options premium was moving $2-4 dollars upwards. So, the premiums were rising by...

I have urged President Trump to veto any bills the Democrats come out with considering they have no intention of at all negotiation on the border wall! Have also, given him other measures which might pass legal muster that he can take unilaterally and let the Democrats challenge him in court...

President Trump has done plenty in 2 short years that all the useless Democrats have been unable to do while, in power the past 30 years atleast! Border wall would be the icing on the cake! Democrats want to say they stopped President Trump somehow! Should cost them 2020 easily! People will be...

Seems like a bunch of RINOs being rolled again by the Democrats. Way too many liberals running as Republicans which is why nothing good ever gets done by Congress! All they manage to do is enrich themselves! Why cannot the DOJ, FBI etc. investigate members of the Senate and House who have...

Might be a good negotiating ploy. You need leverage in any negotiation. If he can make it very costly, for Democrats politically, they might be more inclined to be reasonable! Democrats are whining over tonight's TV coverage. Probably, figure that Democrats will be called out on national TV for...

That is probably, the easiest way to make Mexico pay for the wall!
